Fort Hood survivor supports gunman's execution by firing squad but questions livestream

Alonzo Lunsford, a survivor of the 2009 Fort Hood mass shooting, has expressed support for the execution of gunman Nidal Hasan by firing squad, while voicing concerns regarding the Pentagon's plan to livestream the event. Lunsford, who was shot seven times during the attack that killed 13 people, argues that the method is appropriate for the crime but believes the broadcast should be restricted to victims and families rather than the general public. The proposed execution would be the first military execution in over 60 years and the first public execution in the US in nearly a century, drawing criticism from both Democratic and Republican lawmakers.
